After a chaotic, high-scoring Week 1, the NFL heads into Week 2 — but injuries are already reshaping several matchups. Below is a rewritten, game-by-game rundown of the final injury designations for teams playing Sunday (plus Monday Night’s Rams-Giants notes), with the latest updates and what they mean for each team.
Bengals at Texans
– Bengals: QB Joe Burrow (back) and DT B.J. Hill (Achilles) are listed as questionable.
– Texans: WR Nico Collins (hamstring), G Ed Ingram (groin), EDGE Jadeveon Clowney (knee) and LB Jake Hummel (groin) are out.
Notes: Burrow and Zac Taylor sounded optimistic during the week, but Burrow remains officially questionable against a Texans defense eager to rebound. Houston loses top pass-catcher Nico Collins (and already lost Jayden Higgins for the year), plus starter Ed Ingram on the line.
Panthers at Falcons
– Panthers: DT Bobby Brown III (back) OUT; OLB Patrick Jones II (back) QUESTIONABLE.
– Falcons: QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and CB Billy Bowman Jr. (Achilles) OUT; QB Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) DOUBTFUL; G Chris Lindstrom (concussion) and CB A.J. Terrell (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Carolina will be thin up the middle without Bobby Brown III; rookie Lee Hunter should see more snaps. Atlanta will once again start Cooper Rush while Penix continues his ACL recovery and Tagovailoa is doubtful; Lindstrom and Terrell finishing full practices Friday is encouraging.
Browns at Buccaneers
– Browns: G Teven Jenkins (back) OUT; CB Tyson Campbell (ankle) QUESTIONABLE.
– Buccaneers: S Miles Killebrew (concussion), WR Jalen McMillan (knee), CB Jacob Parrish (back) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Jenkins is out for a second straight game. Campbell missed practice midweek but returned Friday. Tampa Bay listed three questionables after full practices Friday and otherwise enters the week mostly healthy.
Packers at Jets
– Packers: DT Warren Brinson (calf) OUT; DT Javon Hargrave (knee/concussion) DOUBTFUL; OL Zach Bako-Bewele (knee), G Aaron Banks (knee), EDGE Lukas Van Ness (concussion), CB Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE.
– Jets: WR Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), S Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin), RB Kene Nwangwu (back), EDGE Joseph Ossai (foot) OUT; EDGE Will McDonald IV (ankle) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Green Bay is dealing with multiple trench issues — their O-line and interior D-line could be impacted if Banks, Bako-Bewele or Hargrave sit. New York’s loss of Minkah Fitzpatrick is particularly damaging to the secondary; Ossai will miss another game, and rookie D’Angelo Ponds could debut.
Vikings at Bears
– Vikings: QB Kyler Murray (concussion) and WR Jauan Jennings (personal) OUT; T Brian O’Neill (knee) QUESTIONABLE.
– Bears: none.
Notes: With Murray sidelined after a concussion, Carson Wentz will start; he already led a comeback in Week 1. O’Neill’s status is fluctuating after practices varied during the week. Chicago reported no injuries.
Saints at Ravens
– Saints: LS Zach Wood (calf) OUT; LB Isaiah Stalbird (shoulder) DOUBTFUL; WR Chris Olave (hamstring), EDGE Chase Young and DT Christen Miller (toe) QUESTIONABLE.
– Ravens: LB Teddye Buchanan (knee), DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), CB T.J. Tampa (knee) OUT; WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) DOUBTFUL; OLB Trey Hendrickson, T Ronnie Stanley (toe) and G John Simpson (groin) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: New Orleans has some question marks but got limited work from Olave and Young. Baltimore’s situation is more concerning — Zay Flowers left Week 1 with a hamstring issue and key linemen Hendrickson, Stanley and Simpson were limited in their first practices of the week; several defenders remain sidelined from last season’s injuries.
Eagles at Titans
– Eagles: EDGE Jonathan Greenard (pectoral) OUT; S Andrew Mukuba (knee) QUESTIONABLE.
– Titans: CB Cordale Flott (quad), LB Cedric Gray (concussion), LB James Williams (elbow) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Greenard will miss his second straight game, weakening Philadelphia’s pass-rush depth. Tennessee saw Flott miss Friday’s practice after being limited earlier, though Gray practiced fully.
Steelers at Patriots
– Steelers: CB Joey Porter Jr. (conditioning/back; not injury related) OUT; T Troy Fautanu (ankle), WR Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) QUESTIONABLE.
– Patriots: T Dametrious Crownover (knee) OUT; OL Ben Brown (knee), CB Carlton Davis III (neck), LB Dre’Mont Jones (foot) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Porter will miss another game amid an ongoing availability issue. Fautanu practiced fully Friday while Pittman missed late-week sessions. New England’s biggest concern is Carlton Davis, who has not practiced this week and would leave them thin at cornerback; A.J. Brown is on IR and not listed.
Raiders at Chargers
– Raiders: CB Darien Porter (foot) OUT; TE Brock Bowers (knee) DOUBTFUL; QB Aidan O’Connell (personal) QUESTIONABLE.
– Chargers: WR Ladd McConkey (rib) and CB Deane Leonard (abdomen) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Brock Bowers will test his knee ahead of the game but is currently doubtful; Michael Mayer would see more targets if Bowers is inactive. Backup QB O’Connell missed Thursday and Friday for a personal matter. Chargers’ top receiver McConkey was limited Friday.
Jaguars at Broncos
– Jaguars: none.
– Broncos: WR Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) OUT; RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Jacksonville is fully healthy on the final report. Denver ruled out Marvin Mims after he missed practice all week; Harvey was limited late in the week and is questionable.
Dolphins at 49ers
– Dolphins: DE Chop Robinson (concussion) and LB Ronnie Harrison (hamstring) OUT; LS Tucker Addington (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE.
– 49ers: WR De’Zhaun Stribling (ankle) OUT; K Eddie Pineiro (illness) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Miami lost Chop Robinson to a concussion in practice and Harrison didn’t practice all week. San Francisco’s rookie Stribling had ankle surgery and is out for months; kicker Pineiro missed practice this week and is questionable along with RB Kaelon Black (groin).
Seahawks at Cardinals
– Seahawks: QB Sam Darnold (glute) OUT; G Anthony Bradford (knee) and S Nick Emmanwori (ankle/hip) QUESTIONABLE.
– Cardinals: CB Garrett Williams (Achilles) OUT; multiple linemen and DBs listed with shoulder, knee, groin and ankle concerns.
Notes: Seattle will start Drew Lock with Darnold unavailable after a week without practice. Arizona has numerous defensive question marks after Week 1; Garrett Williams is ruled out despite limited practices.
Commanders at Cowboys
– Commanders: TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) and LB Frankie Luvu (groin) OUT; DT Javon Kinlaw (back) QUESTIONABLE.
– Cowboys: S Malik Hooker (forearm fracture) and LB DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) OUT.
Notes: Washington loses Okonkwo and Luvu, both hurt in Week 1, forcing lineup and scheme adjustments. Dallas will be without Hooker and Overshown; rookie Jaoshawn Barham will take on the middle linebacker responsibilities.
Colts at Chiefs
– Chiefs: T Josh Simmons (back) and DB Chamarri Conner (knee) OUT; CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder) and DT Chris Jones (calf) QUESTIONABLE.
– Colts: WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) OUT; RB D.J. Giddens (knee) QUESTIONABLE.
Notes: Kansas City will again be without Simmons protecting Mahomes’ blindside. If Delane or Jones can’t go, the Chiefs’ depth in the secondary and on the defensive front could be strained. Indianapolis has a relatively light report aside from Dulin’s absence.
Giants at Rams (Monday Night)
– Giants: CB Paulson Adebo was placed on IR (knee); Deonte Banks (calf) didn’t practice Friday. Francis Mauigoa (shoulder), Andrew Thomas (ankle), Greg Newsome II (rib) and Micah McFadden were limited.
– Rams: Davante Adams practiced fully after a rest day; Puka Nacua (hip) did not practice Friday. Kamren Kitchens (hamstring) missed both Thursday and Friday. Kam Curl (ankle), Omar Speights (hip) and Nate Landman (shoulder) were limited.
Notes: New York added Adebo to IR and has several players limited late in the week. Los Angeles saw Adams return to full practice but Nacua and other defenders had limited or no participation.
Fan Take: Injuries are already reshaping game plans and depth charts early in the season, and several teams’ Week 2 outlooks hinge on questionable designations for key linemen and skill players. For fans, that means more unpredictability — and opportunities for backups and rookies to make an immediate impact and alter the league’s pecking order.
